HoUsTON, June 1S.-The most daring

where a fire was burning, and around
which stood eight or ten men armed
with Winchester rifles. The two robbers

at the throttle while the others went
through the train, express and passen-
ger cars. Nearly all the passengers
were asleep, and did not know what was
going on until they we've aroused hy the
robbers. The first man tackled by
thieves was w. Neberger, of New York,
whom they struck on the head with
revolver. they secured fran him SO
in cash, several diamonds and gold
watch, valued at about $1,000. Lou
Mayer, ut Cincinnati: was relieved of
$35. r. L. Armstead, of New York,
gave up $50. He had large amount of
money with him but it was hidden in the
sleeping car, A gentleman from Mex
leo. whose name could not be learned,
lost $400. All the passengers lost what
valuables they had, and it is difficult
to form an estimate of the amount of
money and jewelry Second, II is reck-
oned. however, at 5000. Wells, Fargo
and Co.'S express car was also gone
through, but the amount of money taken
from it cannot be ascertained. No mail
route agent was ON the train, but the
through mail pouches in the express
car were all cut open and their contents
appropriated. The total amount secured
by the robbers is put down at 5000 or
Sl0,0 ,0Oa, but when careful revision of
the matter is made the figures may he
changed. There Is. nn doubt that con-
siderable booty was secured and the gang
made off with it successfully. The
whole country is aroused and in arms.
Several parties have gone IN search of
the robbers.

4 Farm for Raising Jury Stock.
Reading Herald.

The difficulty in trying ~ get jury to
try Jacob Sharp, arises from the fact
that every one has formed or expressed
an opinion of the case. If the present
jury system is to be maintained, il will
soon Ire necessary to set apart reserva-
ton for the raising of jurymen for i'm
portant cases. Such an institution
might he located in Alaska. If it were
well fenced in and no newspapers or
books allowed to enter it, all schoOlmas-
ters and schools prohibited. nearly every
resident of the place would be eligible to
sit on any jury, since they would have
few or no opinions ON anything. They
could be drawn up as wanted in inpor-
tant cases. n great saving of time
would be effected by this plan. and, of
course. all trials would lie impartial.
